A Kentucky Boom.

that no State in the Union is its
equal in the mineral wealth that
thus far has remained undeveloped
throughout a great portion Of its

The result is that a syndicate il

When you hear man talking
down his own city, watch him. and
above all things don't credit him
for anything on earth, or it is only
question of time when he will get
something from you for nothing.
If things don't go just right don't
Jump on the city and insist that it
will be fenced in before long. Talk
ing down the town is lust the way
to fence it in, Take the cheerful
side of he question for awhile and
your digestion will be better and
yon will have sweeter sleep, and
you will both look and feel better,
Put your shoulder to the vince and
help out instead of trying to put
down. Talk up not down is the

won't get sick, but if L were, L think
1 would prefer physician who had
at least some experience"
He laughed again, as I did also,
and it was a real comfort to be able
to do so, for in that gloomy atmos-
phere, I had rarely even thought
smile, and I had never had heart
enough to laugh, and this tone of
banter seemed to put me on better
terms with this man whom [ had so
mistrusted. Then he said more
seriously,
"But you did not tell me who was
your sick friend %
l replied, " It was not friend of
mine, but only a negro woman,
whose name is Frances and she
says she used to belong to your
family"
"Ahp said he. "She has come
back then. You say she is very
sick I? [ think [ will visit ner my

/ had watched the effect of this
communication, but he received it so
composedly, yet with such evident
interest that again | said to myself,
he is not so bad as [ thought"
Yet what could have justified him if
the story that Frances gave me was
true! and / could not doubt the
statement of one as near death as she
evidently was. And then he must
know what a dreadful wretch that
Pauline was, and her brutal treat
ment of the poor afflicted Winnie!

A MISAPPREHENSION.

The New Law and Newspaper Passes.
From the Concord Times.
It seems to us that there is a misap-
prehension on the part of some editors
IN regard to the construction Of the
interstate commerce law concerning
the issuance of passes over railroads to
newspaper men. 1t prohibits the issu-
ing Of free passes to anybody, and this,
perhaps, is right.
But newspaper editors are not pos
ing as objects of the charity of the
railroads. Passes are not gifts to them,
but in many cases are paid for at
quadruple their value. The newspa-
pers agree to insert for the railroads
their time tables, in consideration for
receiving pass over the lines. These
schedules usually occupy one-half
column, which is valued by the aver
age newspaper man at $50, some
charging 500 for SO much space.
Very few editors travel during the
entire year enough to aggregate half
that amount.
There is a popular belief that these
passes are given to newspaper people
to keep their mouths shut when the
railroad management deserves criti-
cism. Any man who knows anything
about it knows this is not so. News
papers, as a rule, so tar from being
efectually silenced in regard TO the
policy of railroads by these passes, are
true to the interests of the people
their patrons and their supporters -
in criticising the actions of railroads
when those actions deserve criticism.
We do not believe the new law was
intended to embrace Newspaper men.
1t brings within its scope Senators,
Representatives, Legislators, Judges,
&C., who ride ON passes that are pre-
sented to them without expecting a
legitimate return.
[ Now, we do not wish to be under
stood as raising howl because we
contemplate the early withdrawal Of
glad to return the passes to day and
pay for our transportation if the rail
roads would pay us for their schedules
in cash at our rates. But we think
this If we, or any other editor, con-
tract with a railroad to publish it,
schedule in return for an annual pass
over the line, it is simple bushes:
transaction, with which Congress, OF
the public, has nothing to do. A Law
that would prevent this is not just
and we reiterate our statement, tina
the new law can have no possibl,
reference to such transaction.

To WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN:
We, the undersigned citizens of
Forsyth and adjoining counties,
having each purchased of the gentle
manly Statesmen of the Wrought
Iron Range Co. Of St. Louis, Mo-.
one of their celebrated Home Com
fort Wrought Iron Cooking Rang
es, take great pleasure in recon-
mending them to our friends and
neighbors. After thorough test
we pronounce them a success, and
find them to be as good in every
particular as represented by the
Statesmen. They are far more du
rable-bake more uniformly with
less fuel-less danger as to fire
than any cook stove we have ever
seen or used. At first we thought
them a little high priced, but now
would not take twice the price paid
for them and be without it. Besides
its good baking qualities, it affords
the greatest abundance of hot wat
er, which is a great convenience.
Buy one and you will not regret the
purchase.
Very Respectfully,
FORSYTH COUNTY.
